The argument that will be put forward will not be about whether vaccination works but about "free choice".
Mandatory vaccination is required because there are too many people who will never understand the relationship between vaccination rate and herd immunity.
Also true of TDAP. I don't remember getting most of my vaccines, but I'm on the big downslope curve in that diagram,
and I remember standing in line for a polio booster which turned out to be a sugar cube! As a little kid, how can you beat THAT?!
If allowed, 150,000 American children will contract the disease. Out of that 15,000 will be paralyzed and 1,500 will die a horrible death through suffocation.
This is simply the premeditated murder on US children and should be treated as such
By then it probably wasn't polio, unless they were much older kids, but there are other birth defects that are much less common these days. And clubfoot still happens, plus vaccine-preventable things.
Wrong on both counts. 1. A majority of Amish children are vaccinated. 2. Preliminary data in studies by University of Miami and Vanderbilt have identified the presence of ASD in the Amish community at a rate of approximately 1 in 271 children using standard ASD screening and diagnostic tools.
It is true that rates of vaccination of Amish children and of autism occurrence are lower than the general population. This is likely due to the reduced genetic diversity of the Amish population.
Your causal assertion was widely popularized by a fraudulent, since-retracted study by a doctor with a financial interest in promoting an alternative vaccine.
I'm old enough that several of my childhood friends contracted polio. It's a terrible disease. The entire country was terrorized by the threat, and it affected everyday behavior. Jonas Salk was (quite rightly) a national hero when he discovered an effective vaccine.
Prior to the vaccine, my mom was afraid to let us go to movie theaters, for example, and kept us away from crowds as much as possible. The vaccine changed the lived experience of children across the world. Please believe me: you don't want to go back.
Vaccines have varying degrees of success, some work better, they aren't always a panacea.
Hypothetically speaking, if there were a single vaccine available for a particular debilitating condition, but it only had a 30% success rate, should we not still use it?

I haven't seen or heard of anyone with polio since.
Look at the trending direction the graph is following, the peaks and troughs mean little by themselves.

Had a neighbor on crutches for polio as a kid.

The resistance to vaccination is truly one of the most puzzling phenomena of my lifetime.
None of the children have autism.
Why?
Make a post about this info and we can share it with people who might actually listen.
Just present the facts, jack.
This fact alone does not imply that every vaccine on CDC's recommended schedule works.

As in life, it probably has side effects. So, it would depend on side effects.
If the potential side effect is autism, do you roll the dice?
